Deceased persons debt

If my mother was not a joint account holder on my deceased father's account and can't afford to pay the balance, can the creditors put a lean on my mothers property that she and my dad own? My mother lives in a single family home but also owns an income building. They have mortgages on both homes. They have no other assets. The property is in Illinois.
